Gary Neville has opened up and claimed that Chelsea should have completed the signing of Manchester United striker Bryan Mbeumo in the summer window, rather than signing Joao Pedro.
CHELSEA sanctioned another stunning spending spree, bringing the likes of Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho and Estevao Willian to Stamford Bridge, but at times this season, those players have been unable to shine ike many had hoped for.
Arguably the best summer addition for Manchester United was Mbeumo, who has scored ten goals so far this season following a £65m move from Brentford, and Neville has been impressed with ‘good and solid signing’ Mbeumo.
Neville has also been impressed by Pedro but believes Mbeumo would have been a better signing for Chelsea and says United’s £65m star would have been ‘a sensation’ at Arsenal.
Assessing Manchester United’s deal for Mbeumo on the Stick to Football podcast, Neville said: ‘If you look at it now, Mbeumo would probably have been better for Chelsea and Arsenal than the players they got.
‘I think Joao Pedro had done quite well but Mbeumo… I mean, he would have been a sensation for Arsenal wouldn’t he?
‘He’s a good signing for Manchester United, a really solid signing. I like him a lot.’
IcChelseanews Says…
Pedro has started coming good this season and is looking like a player that is starting to get settled, so we are sure that he will end up scoring more goals that what Mbeumo would if he was signed by CHELSEA.
If’s and buts dont mean anything as Mbeumo is at Man United and Pedro is at Chelsea, and to be honest, we are happy with how things turned out last summer as some players have made impacts.
